Pearl Harbor 50 years later

December 7, 1991

The list below is of people quoted in The Orlando Sentinel account of the Pearl Harbor attack. All but one were on the Hawaiian island of Oahu on Dec. 7, 1941.

The newspaper received about 150 responses to a request for Pearl Harbor stories, most of them from men and women on Oahu during the attack. Other stories came from people working for the War Department in Washington and from men stationed in the Philippines, a Japanese target after Pearl Harbor. Several people wrote with recollections of how they heard the news here in the United States.
